Marking the 17th annual national celebration of the beloved pop culture holiday, comic shops across the country will host signing events with acclaimed DC artists and writers to commemorate Free Comic Book Day on May 5! Writer Shea Fontana (DC SUPER HERO GIRLS), Writer Franco Aureliani (SUPERMAN FAMILY ADVENTURES, TINY TITANS) and Artist Janice Duursema (EARTH 2: WORLD’S END) will appear in across New York and New Jersey.

In celebration, DC is offering DC NATION #0, a special issue featuring the biggest names in the industry and available to fans for only 25 cents beginning May 2. DC NATION #0 is a full-size comic that will feature previews of three of DC’s highest-profile story arcs of 2018 – the wedding of Batman and Catwoman, Brian Michael Bendis’ weekly MAN OF STEEL miniseries and JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE, by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson.

For younger readers, DC will also be offering a special Free Comic Book Day issue that features an excerpt from DC SUPER HERO GIRLS: DATE WITH DISASTER in which Batgirl, Lois Lane and Catwoman navigate the complexities of life and investigate the clues of a mystery explosion.
